D I F U, the Deutsch – Italienische Film–Union

Over time, we have acquired a number of original film publications of the "DIFU" import/export company. DIFU was established after a trip to Berlin by Italian Minister for Popular Culture Alessandro Pavolini; as an agreement with Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels to import Italian films into Greater Germany via dubbed/synchronised versions; and the export of Third Reich films into Fascist Italy with dubbed/synchronised versions, in return.

BELOW is our inventory of DIFU film materials. Note that all of them use the German translated film title, not the original Italian film title. Check our Publications page under "Original film pressbooks and scripts" for some italian film pressbooks and cinema owners' guides (Werberatschläge) which we also own for certain films, such as Bengasi, Luciano Serra–Piloteor Noi vivi!, but for which we do not have the "DIFU" corresponding German language original publication.
